I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

I tell girls, 'If you're tall and feel too tall, the answer is to be taller.'

In singing, there's a vibration that comes from deep down inside, literally from your sex. When you put out that vibration, people can feel it. Billie Holiday does it. Peggy Lee does it. It's very hot.

I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.

I had to work out where I was going, what type of films I wanted to make. For that reason, I decided to choose independent productions, less important roles, and I tried theater, too.

I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!

For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I've done it with my feet bloody.
